I only really feel old when I am in town and people are asking each other and sometimes me to cyber with them. I'm not here for that so I ignore them, but seriously, it's odd. I'm only 27 but I've been here since 2003 also. There was a huge break when I had to live with my mom (YAY! DIVORCE!) and she HATES the internet. She believes it should only be used for email. Idiot. She would scream at me "GET OFF THAT COMPUTER!"

Gotta run. I got up for a 5:30am snack and my six year old busted me and is demanding we play "Sorry."

Parenting makes me feel WAAAAAY old. ("Because I said so" and "I am doing this because I love you." The latter one is hard to explain. Six year olds don't get "I am putting you in time out because I don't want you to be a danger to yourself and others when you grow up and I am trying to teach you boundaries and things you need to know now.")


I understand.. I remember those days... but what will make you feel really old is when you are like me and your kid is in the geezer guild...

Pfeh. I woke up this morning and realized I graduated from High School 2 Decades ago. Twenty Years. And what the heck have I done with my life?

Well, I mean, besides being married for 8 years and a string of really lousy jobs... Er... and that time I helped my folks with a loan and when I went to my sister's wedding in Argentina and I volunteered a couple places and got born again and then there was that time I got $200 for winning a local game design contest and they published a couple of lines of mine in a book on my favorite...

Well, okay, I've done a FEW things, but it's hardly been a double decade brimming over with accomplishment.

Well, 19 years and 6 months, actually.

Er... Sorry.

i felt old when i almost got scammed by a fifeteen year old on here, by the way i felt like an idiot after that, but it got worse in the arena where i put in a submission for the birth of venus and one girl made a comment about how it needed more and called me honey. Come to find out shes 14 and i told her i put my avi in after the art piece and shes never seen it in her life, and said sorry cause she said some really snotty remarks about it. jeese

I've gotten a few looks from friends of mine when they see my screen sitting on gaia, the first thing they say is "What are you a *****?" or something similar. I have a few friends that are on gaia, that are all around my age (30's), and one persons daughter...she would be the youngest person I talk to.

It's all in fun though. I assume everyone who joins gaia either does so because they love to talk with other people (I'm a forum addict as it is, and there are an endless amount of topics to post on here), or because they like some of the games. I personally love it all, especially the homes.

Adults dont always have to play "mature" games either. I've never been a fan of shooters, and play very few fighting games. I like bright flashy colors.

I used to get on Lifestyle Discussion and Life Issues to give advice. After a while of having my advice ignored because "I don't know what its like" I stopped. Well, I actually stopped after telling a few kids "You're 14, you don't know s**t about s**t. Shut up"

You should know by now that teenagers know everything... just ask them.

What I find odd is that so many of these young people are looking for "action" on Gaia.

Of course, I remember being a bundle of hormones from 13 to about... uh... 25 or so, but I couldn't even talk straight when I got my glands all riled up, much less type.

Yet these kiddies are using a BBS to pursue amorous encounters? Possibly with people in Newfoundland or Macao? I mean, who's gonna drive them if they manage to hook up.

That's just... weird.

I've said this before, but I wonder what these kids who call their elders "pederasts" are gonna be doing in a few years time? Do you think they'll outgrow it or feel embarassed or move on to other posting pursuits or what?

Ugh! I know tat feeling Alleira!

For me it's noise. The more noises my body makes involuntarily, the older I know I've gotten.

I'd gotten used to the farts, the bone pops, the creaks and the rumbles, but nothing quite prepares you for the flap of flesh on flesh as your skin starts to sag in... uh... unexpected places. I've taken to wearing clothes around the house more just to pad out the sound. I used to walk around in the buff, but now I'm afraid I'll catch on something!

There's also love handles and lunch lady arm to contend with...
I'm beginning to feel like a science fiction creature.

It's sad when I see all these RP requests that slap age limits on- and I'm like "~delete~ ~delete~ it's not like I'm gonna go to your house and rape you- I just wanna RP damn it, and if you're a decent RPer I don't care if you're younger than me"

and then I grew up an only child- so I spent most of my youth with adults instead of kids my age- so I know even older stuff then most people in my generation- woe is the time I'll be talking to someone a mere 3 years younger or so- and completely talk over their head...

I'm old 23 for crying out loud- not 83...

I have often wondered that myself. I have been on a lot of sites that were all or mostly adults on them, when I first got there (gaming, sci-fi, fantasy, anime, writing, etc) but slowly more and more kids showed up. It was not a major thing until they started accusing US of being there in THEIR space for lascivious reasons. In '98 I was a co-founder of a site that I ended up leaving, because I got tired of defending my right to like the things I like even if someone else felt I was too old, and my the other co-founders shut it down in 2003, because of similar reasons.

I have never been one that thought I should stop liking the things I like, because others think I am too old for them. Luckily my children and good friends have always loved the fact that I don't give up doing things my way, just because I get older.
